Keijo Kaarisade

Keijo Kaarisade is a Finnish social media figure whose writings are parodies resembling what leftist ideologues create unironically. He has created fake aliases and sent parody opinion pieces disguised as pro-leftist / pro-intersectional to Finnish newspapers and successfully had them published. After he has outed himself as the true author, the newspapers have normally either deleted the articles from their websites or unlisted them in such a way that only the direct link still works. Of course, the paper version cannot be unprinted. His texts are in Finnish, but in this article they've been translated. Despite the fact that Finnish personal pronouns are gender neutral (i.e. there are no separate words for "he" and "she" in Finnish), Keijo still has (as of June 7, 2021) pronouns in his Twitter bio, "tämä/tuo/se", which translate to "this/that/it".

Keijo is a fairly common Finnish male given name, but no such surname as Kaarisade exists. Kaarisade means "Arc rain", while the Finnish word for "rainbow" (sateenkaari) consists of the same words in reverse order and the word for sade ("rain") in genitive (sateen). Thus sateenkaari translates literally to rain's arc.

History

Keijo's Twitter account used to be @vihapuhepoliisi ("hate speech police"). That account was suspended in 2019 but the author later came back with the account name @keijomedia.

Example Opinion Piece

On June 16, 2019 Keijo Kaarisade successfully had his "opinion piece" ending in the following sentence:

"Feminism should not acquire the Soviet Union as its role model, but instead seek for the best practices from different compass points and justice models."

published in both Helsingin Sanomat and Aamulehti, which are both very large and well known Finnish newspapers. For Helsingin Sanomat he used the alias Elina Kemppi and for Aamulehti the alias was Elina Kemppi-Pirhonen. Kemppi and Pirhonen are both Finnish surnames, but together they form a spoonerism Pimppi-Kerhonen, which would mean "Little Pussy Club".

The publishers of this piece apparently thought that replacing the current western justice system with a non-western one could be a good idea.

Example Tweets

• April 8, 2021 with regards to the same infamous paternity fraud case that the Honey Badgers talked about on this livestream:

"In the name of the recogniser, the recognised person and the Holy Spirit. Amen.", sharing the link to this article reporting about the paternity fraud and the upcoming law change it has inspired

That same article also tells about the attempts at replacing the words mother and father in childbirth situations with synnyttäjä "birther, birth-giver" and tunnustaja "acceptor, confesser, recogniser" in the parenthood act.

• May 31, 2021, with regards to the scandal surrounding Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin's private meals, to which she had used on average 845 € (300 € for breakfasts, which was the amount initially reported) per month of taxpayer money on average between January 2020 and May 2021:

"In the future, we could avoid needless (money) wasting and corruption scandals by granting a 2000-5000€/month quota for expenses that need not be separately explained. It would reduce stress, motivate to focus on the essential and reduce corruption. #keijosolves #breakfastgate"
